If you're looking for a monitor that excels in competitive gaming and has a high refresh rate for smooth gameplay, the Asus PG27AQDM is a solid choice, and it's also less costly than the LG. It's suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption but falls short in productivity due to its screen resolution and size. On the other hand, if you're interested in a wider display and can afford to spend more, the LG 45GR95QE offers an ultrawide screen which can enhance immersion in games and movies, although its peak brightness and text clarity are not as good as the Asus. Both have excellent color depth and contrast, making them good for photo editing, but not ideal for tasks requiring the highest image clarity or brightness. Give Feedback

"It’s hard to find any fault with the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s incredibly good. With a stunning image and next-level video performance, it’s one of the very best gaming monitors I’ve ever reviewed."

"The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
